We couldn’t do a wearables roundup without talking about the guys who arguably were responsible for really kicking off this whole movement in a meaningful way, and that’s Pebble. The Pebble Steel took even greater strides to make a smart watch feel more like a watch that is smart, and not a tiny awkward tablet that you are for some reason supposed to put on your wrist. The simple display, elegant design, great functionality, and customizable strap options make this smart watch one of the most desirable on the market today. The simple three-tone display gets you five to seven days of battery life, which feels like a good amount of time for a smart watch, and it’s also waterproof.

The Pebble Steel might not be the most feature rich of the wearables in this list, but it’s definitely the most refined. Everything that’s there feels like it should be there, and they avoided including gimmicky features to sell the watch. We really admire this restrained approach when it comes to wearables, as one of the biggest issues we have is that a lot of them don’t really seem like they know what they’re supposed to be. It’s in short supply right now, but if you’re lucky enough to get an order in they can be had in either brushed stainless steel or black matte for $249.
